Haha. LOVE ITTTT! Between this thread and the Friday the 13th thread, I actually googled raptor costumes earlier this morning and fantasized about how I can incorporate a rootu into it Then I was worried about the raptors wandering around late night and the poor souls on party favors... Not saying that it can't happen, though.

See... the "poor souls on party favors" is exactly the reason to do it

Has anyone ever gone so far as to get a quiet little generator and use it in camp for the purpose of running fans, charging phones, etc? I saw a deal yesterday on one of those little low-noise honda ones and thought about it, but I wouldn't want to annoy the shit out of everyone around me.

I have used a 900 watt 2 stroke from Harbor Freight before. Ran it during the day only, but it still wasn't terribly loud. It seems to be a little more acceptable in VIP due to things being spread out a bit more and every camp being along a wide road, but you never know what your neighbors will think of it. I had an inverter hooked up to my truck battery and a second one from a boat that we used the majority of the time, used the generator and a charger during some of the day hours only as not to deprive anyone of sleep around me. Feel free to PM me if you have questions about it

If you have a nice quiet Honda, you shouldn't have noise issues, just bring a long extension cord so the generator can be placed away from tents and places where exhaust fumes won't bother folks.

Are there options to charge your phone in VIP (either in camping or Centeroo)? This talk about generators is concerning me a bit.

yes there are options in VIP camping and the VIP lounge in Centeroo to charge your phone. There are not always available plugs at either location, but that's not why i'm bringing a solar generator. I just want to be able to pull a super cold one out of a mini fridge on the farm...that is all. HAHAHAHA i'm going to love it!

There are more places to find a plug in VIP - several of the bathrooms and showers have plugs (intended for blow dryers, hair irons, ect) and there are some throughout the VIP tents as well. There is no more need for a generator in VIP than there is in GA, actually less need to be honest. A generator at camp will simply allow for additional luxuries and creature comforts.

tabiyeh there will be a second VIP thread started for those who are participating in Camp Inforoo VIP. There will be a meetup in Manchester Thursday morning for members who signed up for camp to drive in together.
